We know that Jeff Brohm is well known for his offense, but what about the defense, especially under new defensive coordinator Bob Diaco? It turns out Purdue can defend the option really well. The Boilers sacked the Air Force quarterback Donald Hammond III nine times and held the Falcons to 81 yards of total offense in a dominant 56-0 win.
Lorenzo Neal was an absolute monster defensively in this game. He finished with 6 tackles, five for loss, and had four of those sacks as he regularly ripped through the right guard to cause havoc.
